For anyone that knows me they know that the DC Tobacco Free Families (DCTFF) Conference changed my life. YES, changed my life!!!! The contacts I made were endless, the information I gained was not only new and fresh but the conference addressed issues, and helped me gain skills that were relevant to me in serving the DC community as a stand-alone volunteer! The DCTFF addresses the needs for youth, organizations, faith-based initiatives, HIV/AIDS, the Latino population, the LGBT community and any suggestions the community wants to hear!

Did I mention this is where I met Paul Spires aka “Crucial Thoughtz?”
(Team Champions, Star of DCTFF Secondhand Smoke Commercial, Artist, PG Community College)
Ashley Blakeney, Ballou High School (Team Champions, Ballou, A Documentary Film)
Because I attended the conference I was able to be involved in future DCTFF events like the “Follow the Signs” Workshop given by my newly discovered sister Ms. La Tanisha Wright of the National African American Tobacco Prevention Network (NAAPTN).

Follow the Signs (FTS) is a training program that raises awareness about how Big Tobacco specifically targets Black communities. It was developed by NAATPN’s West Region Director, La Tanisha Wright. Ms. Wright is a former tobacco industry manager. She has expertise in tobacco marketing, merchandising and advertising.

See you at the Conference!
